Linda - Coils popping in my Spring Air Mattress

Linda writes:
 
 
I recently found your site, and am very appreciative of the advice you
give concerning mattress selection. I recently purchased a Spring Air
mattress, less than 6 months ago. About a month and a half ago, I heard
a couple of the springs inside "pop", and now there is a noticeable
divet in the mattress toward one side. I know this should not be "normal
wear and tear". I have tried turning the "no flip" mattress, according
to the suggestions made by the company, but am experiencing severe lower
back, shoulder, and hip pain. Needless to say, I am not satisfied. I
have been looking at the Sealy Posturepedic Line of mattresses. I am a
thin person, body weight approx. 130lbs./ 5 ft. 8in. I do suffer from
lower back and hip pain from time to time, that started when my old
mattress became completely worn after almost 15 years(and I purchased
the Spring Air).What suggestions do you have for a Sealy Posturepedic
that would be good for my back and lower hips, not too expensive, and is
designed with "breathable" materials that won't increase my body heat.
Also, I noticed, trying a personal experiment-sleeping on this mattress
with no bedding, it seemed as if the mattress was absorbent of my
natural body oils. Even with bed sheets, the effect is the same, as if
the mattress materials are absorbant, and I wake up physically parched
(skin and body). In addition, do you have any suggestions for possible
recourse concerning the issues with my Spring Air? Thank you.
 
Hi Linda,
Coils going "POP" in the mattress is a sure sign of a defect. You should call your retailer and register the complaint. Most likely, they will send an inspector to check it out. Once thay have authorization to exchange it, you should be able to select whatever you want. Of course, there may be a price difference. But it's certainly better than buying outright.


Thanks, Pete

Rebecca - We are looking to purchase a new mattress.

Rebecca writes:
 
Hi,
I am completely confused about what's good and not good...and don't trust sales persons
either. I have a bad left hip and tendonitis in my right shoulder. I
need something that's not so firm so I can lay on my side, but not so
soft that it doesn't give me support. Am 47--145 lbs. We prefer Sealy or
Stearns & Foster. What do you recommend? I was told memory foam was
good--euopean tops were good..but aren't sure what to go for. Can you
advise? Becky
 
Hi Becky,
Memory foam is terrible stuff. The longer you're in it, the softer it gets. It's heat sensitive, which means it softens when warmed. You're body heat will soften it quite a bit. So you see, it won't feel at home, like it did to try in the store. When a salesman says,"Euro-top", it's short for Euro-Pillowtop. Many salespeople push the thicker, plusher, pillowtop mattresses. They do that because they are more expensive, they make more money and they are easy to sell. In fact, the seductive nature of the beast sells itself. There comes a point in any of the mattress lines when more means less. Today's mattress filling materials compress more easily. More padding means deeper body impressions.
And memory foam is the worst of all the paddings available today.....contrary to the billions of dollars worth of hype you've been spoon fed over the years.
Having a bad hip and shoulder, you'll be more sensitive to the changes that a mattress goes through as it wears. Lots of my customers with physical problems are finding that a combination of firmer mattress for support and soft latex topper for long lasting comfort, works best. A latex topper will provide plenty of pressure relief to the surface. It absorbs much of your body weight, leaving under it a mattress that has worn more slowly....more gradually. One of the nice things about all this is the cost is less than you'd expect. Far less than you'd pay for most memory foam mattresses. Another option for you is a latex mattress. These beds keep their shape an incredibly long time. Body impressions (from the quilted top), are extremely minimal. These are more expensive, but last a lot longer also relieving all the pressure points. They will give well enough with your hip and shoulder while maintaining proper alignment. The Stearns & Foster Tower View Villa is an excellent choice for latex with good support and comfort.
Here are some links to follow...mattresses that can be used with latex toppers and a link to that latex mattress. Latex has been the best material available since the 1920s and out performs memory foam as if it wasn't even there...like comparing a Cadillac to an AMC Pacer...if you remember that piece of junk.

Pan - A Stearns & Foster latex mattress for a slender man?

Pan writes:

Hello Pete! :D

Can you please recommend me a mattress?

I'm 23 years old male. I'm 5'11 and  154lbs so I think I'm pretty thin.

Due to being sedentary (I think), I got some arthritis. I have mild shoulder pain (from lifting), elbow pain, wrist pain, knee pain. Knee pain from basketball during high school. Cartilage wearing out. I don't feel the pain for the whole day though. They come and go. I have back pain when the bed is too soft. I sleep on my side, usually with things to cuddle and I always put a pillow between my legs. ( but I still think that sleeping on the side also contributes to my shoulder pain )

I read through you posts and thought you recommend Sealy Latex but I can't find those types that you recommend. Those river or beach ones..

So which one do you recommend me now? Are you going to recommend me buying firm mattress and soft topper? Which ones do you think are good for me and why?

Thank you, Pan

Hi Pan,

You can't go wrong with latex, if you can afford it. It is the best, most comfortable and most durable material available.

The Sealy latex mattresses you mentioned are now marketed under the Stearns & Foster label.

The one I believe you'll enjoy the most is the ultra plush, called Ocean View Villa.

Normally, I wouldn't recommend one this plush, but given you aches and pains and slender build, I believe it is your best choice from among that latex line. Here is the link to that mattress.

http://www.themattressexpert.com/Stearns-Foster-Tuscan-Summer-Villa-Ultra-Plush-/ 

If, however, the price is more than you had in mind, I have another choice for you to consider.

It is a World Class Simmons Beautyrest, the Raleigh in the Plush/Firm Pillowtop. Here again, a pillowtop is not the kind of mattress I would normally recommend, but there are exceptions to every rule and your particular set of circumstances are the exception. Here is a link to that mattress.  

http://www.themattressexpert.com/Simmons-Beautyrest-Worldclass-Raleigh--18761/ 

Lastly, there is the option for a firmer mattress with a soft layer of latex as a topper, which you had mentioned.

Normally, the 2" soft topper is enough, but I feel that you are among the few who would benefit from the 3".

Since the latex topper increases the longevity of the mattress, as well as soften the surface, you can get away with a much less expensive mattress for use under the topper.

Here are two such mattresses that I like a lot, at a lower price point. And also, a link to the toppers.

Joe - A mattress for a difficult couple to please.

Joe writes:
Hi Pete,
My wife and I have both broken our backs while parachuting, but my wife seems to be having the most problems. She has L-5 issues, including herniation and a disc break. She is 5'4" and about 130 and well endowed. She likes to sleep on her stomach, but it is not recommended by her doctor. She usually has problems with leg numbness and "Someone hit me in the back right above my hips with a 2X4" in the morning.
I have broken my back and neck in various parachuting (military) accidents. I wake up at night with numb fingers and back pain between my shoulder blades, where a previous break occurred. I am 6' and 215. I also like to sleep on my stomach, but place a pillow under a shoulder/ upper chest to relieve pain.
We have a 8 year old piece of crap queen mattress with the plywood over the box springs right now. Initially the plywood helped, but no longer.
I did sleep on a hotel mattress, which after reading your site I found out to be a Sealy Posturpedic Reserve with what appeared to be a moderate pillow top. The hotel had finished construction less than a year ago, so I am fairly certain that is the model. Any ideas you may have will be well received.
Thanks, Joe
 
 
Hi Joe,
There's no getting around the physical damage you've sustained. There isn't a mattress made that will make the pain go away. All there is, "is the best you can do".
The best you can do will involve understanding your bodies. Each of your bodies have arches...which dictate what is your natural alignment, and they are different from one another.
Both of you require firm support. As a stomach sleeper, your wife torso cannot be allowed to sink into a mattress, as doing so will exaggerate the arch in the small of her back...quite painful.
Her situation is further complicated by needing to make room for her girls...for lack of a better term.
Your situation is easier than hers because men are built more in a straight line. There are fewer curves that need to be considered when aiming form maintaining your body's natural alignment.
Then, there's the comfort issue. If the bed is too firm, there is pressure point pain and restricted blood flow...making for a restless night's sleep.
Right now, it sounds like your mattress has lost its shape and you are sleeping misaligned.
To complicate the process of buying a mattress, you have to also understand that it's an upholstered product that begins to wear almost immediately after you start using it.
How it feels when new won't be the same a year later and won't feel the same as the floor sample did, when you get it.
Having the misfortune of suffering with all this damage makes you sensitive to the changes a mattress will go through over time.
Weight and shape are also factors to consider when choosing a mattress. If you don't want to have to replace this mattress every year, you'll have to adapt, overcome and conquer.
The enemies are: your physical problems that you can do little about, and the mind set of mattress manufacturing that is now selling a product to be more disposable than they used to be.
The best way to go about this is to start with a reasonably firm, well made mattress that will keep its shape. If you start with a mattress that you perceive as comfortable, you will see that comfort beginning to wane within months.
Adjust the surface feel of that firmer mattress with a topper. In extreme cases like your, it may take more than one.
Latex is the most resilient material available. A layer of soft latex will make that firmer mattress much kore comfortable and add years to the longevity of that mattress.
Given you special circumstances, you may want to add a softer layer to that...perhaps a synthetic down topper. These wear out reasonably quickly, so you can expect to replace them as you need to. 
Get back to me if you wish to pursue this coarse of action and we can go over where to start.
If you're just going out to get a comfortable mattress, you'll have every salesman in the country to help you with that.


Thanks, Pete

Karen- Sealy Natural Energy Ultra Plus Euro Pillowtop Mattress

 I have neck & shoulder problems, as well as getting hot on & off through the night. I was considering buying the Sealy Natural Energy Ultra Plus Euro Pillowtop (floor model), but hear that pillowtops have a tendency to sink in after time. Should I look at a latex mattress because I run hot sometimes? Should I avoid a pillowtop because of my shoulder? FYI, even though I have some shoulder pain I do sleep on my shoulders and need to consider the best option. And should I consider a special pillow because of my shoulder issue? I'm looking at Sealy products and don't know where to begin! Thanks, karen

Hi Karen,
Reminds me of the old vaudeville skit...that spilled over to the early days of TV...not that I'm old enough to remember vaudeville...just the early days of TV.
Patient, "Doctor! It hurts when I do this".
Doctor, "Don't do that".
If you have shoulder pain, try to find a position that's comfortable, while putting less pressure on your shoulder. There's no question that you can get a mattress that will either ease or aggravate the condition. But too, help yourself by altering your position...even a little. The body has amazing self healing powers, if you let it do its thing.
Premature wear isn't the only reason to avoid pillowtops. They sleep warm. You are more engulfed by the padding...more in the bed than on it. The more surrounded by the padding you are, the warmer you're going to feel.
Latex does not sleep hot. I have a latex mattress at home...and a latex topper added to it for extra comfort. As a 58 year old who has spent way too much time behind a desk for way too many years, I have every ache and pain that goes with it. My mattress doesn't add to my discomfort. I always feel better upon rising than when I went to sleep. I have a bone spur in my left shoulder. When I sleep on that side, my shoulder hurts....not the fault of the mattress.
An all latex mattress is an excellent choice, but certainly not cheap. We have some on our Stearns & Foster page and one that is very comfy on our two-sided mattress page.
If staying with a conventional mattress, better to go with Simmons or Stearns & Foster, which use an individually pocketed coil system. The contouring support is considered to be more comfortable by most. The more rigid support of the interlocked coil, as used in the Sealy Posturepedic can be very good for some back issues, but creates more in the way of pressure points problems.
Your neck will feel better when you keep it, and your head, aligned with your spine...just as they are when you're standing upright. You'll discover that finding the right pillow, or combination of pillows, to be a more daunting task than buying a mattress.
It occured to me, while traveling across country, that if I had with me, one of the pillows from home that I didn't like, I could switch it with one of the pillows from the hotel, that I did like. But of course, I didn't have one with me and I certainly wouldn't suggest doing that...wink wink.

Jennifer - Stearns & Foster Mattress

Hello, I can't figure out how to start a new thread, so I hope this is alright. I'm so terribly overwhelmed and confused after reading the posts here and your responses... I was just trying to figure out if anyone could tell me what my old Sealy latex mattress was so I could figure out what the new King size should be, and I ended up here. And got lost reading a ton of these. And now I feel like an idiot, but I'll ask the question anyway, since it seems I may have been on the wrong track. We had a Sealy Posturepedic latex foam mattress we purchased about 4 years ago. It says "cashmere" on it, but I guess that doesn't mean anything. Anyway, after sleeping on it, my husband's shoulder pain went away and we got better sleep. It's a queen. We want the same sleep in a king. However, since sleeping on that mattress he has problems with a bulging disk, so maybe that's not what we want afterall? We slept great on the queen (once we figured out the spacial difference coming from a king) and the king mattress we're on now doesn't provide decent sleep for either one of us. He's 6' and 220 lbs, so from the sounds of it he won't get the support he needs from latex to help his back? What would you recommend? Thank you for taking the time to answer all our questions!

 
Hi Jennifer,
The latex line has been re-introduced using the Stearns & Foster label.
When getting a king to replace your quuen, get one that is a little firmer to acheive a similar feel. The king has a greater area and tends to feel a litlle looser than a queen. '
You also have the bulging disc issue, which should have firmer than softer support.
The new line will be up on our website before long, using this link:

Shoulder pain, Kingsdown mattress

ZACK of Boston, writes:
Hello,
I bought a Kingsdown pillowtop mattress in June from. I had previously been sleeping on a crappy, cheap, model I had bought 2 years ago. The new pillowtop was a tad uncomfortable, but the last months it's been awful. Both of my shoulders are killing me now and I wake up every morning hurting. My shoulders hurt for the first half of each day now. I also have an awful time trying to get to sleep. I am also 6 feet 205 lbs if that matters. Can you help? Would a mattress topper help? Is the softness/hardness causing my shoulder pain? Thanks.

Hi Zack. If I had to guess at it, I’d say that the major cause is the boxspring. Kingsdown uses a very soft boxspring. You can test this by laying the mattress on the floor for a couple of nights. If that helps, a piece of ¾” plywood between the mattress and the boxspring might be all you need. Try that and let me know how you’re feeling. It may be more than just that, but this is a cost free way to test what’s going on with you and the mattress.

We are in the market for a new bed

Karen of Somerville, AL, writes:
We are in the market for a new bed set- can you help point us in the right direction?
My husband (43) has bad acid reflux, requiring his bed to have a raised head. He also has a painful condition called "Thoracic Outlet Syndrome," which restricts nerves & blood vessels in his shoulder, which prevents him from sleeping on his back. It's VERY difficult for him to get comfortable, and both are getting more problematic as he gets older.
Currently, he has built a permanently inclined frame that is raised 8" at the head- a straight slope from head to toe. I can't sleep on the incline, and my restless sleep movements wake him and then he has insomnia. : P We have nice bedroom furniture including a California King bed frame, and aren't using it at all due to the complications!
We want to buy a California King set that has the split box springs AND split mattress- it looks like we can buy sheets, but I'm having trouble finding such mattresses on line. Sealy Posturepedic mattresses in a hotel recently were very comfortable except for his reflux... ideas?
Also, we WANT to have the bed flat sometimes (we ARE married...)and be able to incline his side as needed. Due to his shoulder condition, an adjustable bed that inclines from the waist up will NOT work. Have tou ever heard of such a device? We appreciate any advice- you look very knowledgeable! Thank you!!

Hi Karen. Tough situation.
California King doesn't come with a split mattress. 2 twin extra long sets would make up a standard king and your headboard could easily be made to fit a standard king frame.
But none of that solves your bigger problem. There's nothing that I know of, that will angle his side up and down.

A mattress for shoulder pain

Shane of Cheyenne, writes:
Hi, I have been sleeping on a king koil bed that I purchased for about 700 dollars. I have had shoulder surgery about 6 years ago. My bed was good at first but now it is totaly sunk in the center. I wake up all the time in the middle of the night with my arms and hands totaly numb. I have looked at sealy and serta and simmons. My biggest concern is my shoulder and arms. After laying on these diffrent mattresses I thought the Simmons Beauty was the best feel Its the Evonne Firm super pillow to visco foam. I'm confused with what would be the best. I have slept on a Sealy Pouster Premier Oakmount pillow top and like it however I haven't sleept on it for a long time, but only for a couple of days while visiting my parents. I am 5'5 and 220lbs what would be the best for me?

Hi Shane. The Sealy Posture Premier is a good choice for a spare room, but won't hold up to every night use...especially under a 200 pounder. The Beautyrest is very comfortable, but not terribly long lasting for the money. A latex mattress is the most durable and shouldn't cost much more than the Beautyrest. See is you can find the Sealy SpringFree plush or ultra plush. We have them as the Beachside and River Crest, but model names may differ. Those beds will contour, like the Beautyrest, but last a whole lot longer.

Simmons Beautyrest Black Florence mattress

Pam of Bay Area, writes:
My husband and I have been sleeping on our new mattress for about a month now. We have a Beautyrest Black Florence mattress (it has a pillowtop with memory foam and latex layer and the springs are "triple" wire style). The first few weeks it wasn't that comfortable, but now I fall right asleep and get a great nights rest. Also my husband loves it. However, now I am waking up with my middle back feeling real stiff for about an hour. My profession, dental hygienist, has me out of alignment all day. I also have a shoulder problem that through the years acts up (sitff, sore, cracks etc.). Now it is really bothering me in the morning when I wake up. I'm not sure if the mattress is just putting my back into the correct position and my aches and pains are a result of that or if I am just sleeping so "still" through the night that is causing the problem? Or is it that the mattress with its "triple" spring design is too rigid? We still have a little over a month before our 90 day grace period is up. Any suggestions?

Hi Pam. The time for the pain from being re-aligned on a new mattress has passed. Mid to upper back pain is an indication that the mattress is too soft....and pillowtops usually are. The other complicating factor is the memory foam. Memory foam breaks down easily and loses some of its resiliency within a very short time. The Black Series is Simmons' strongest unit.  It's less likely that the coil unit is the problem.
